Mentions:
The samples from the marine environment (Vizhinjam and Mulloor Coast) used for the isolation of marine bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes include the coastal sediments, marine invertebrates viz., crab, sepia and limpet and the marine macroalgae. The isolated microorganisms from the respective agar plates after spread plating and incubation for 24 h were streaked to get pure cultures of the same. The bacteria were grown in Zobell Marine Agar medium; the list and source of the isolated bacterial strains are presented in Table 1. The total count of bacteria per ml of the sample viz., coastal sediments, crab, sepia, limpets and the marine macroalgae was 6.5 × 106, 3.2 × 105, 5.9 × 105, 1.9 × 105 and 2.8 × 104 CFU respectively (Fig. 1).Fig. 1
